Marriott International has opened its seventh hotel in Istanbul.
The 259-room Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli, which is Marriott's 11th property in Turkey, is located within a 34-storey building on the European side of the city between the business districts of Levent and Taksim.
The five-star hotel features a rooftop heliport and a health club and spa with a gym, indoor swimming pool, tennis court, Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms.
There are three food/beverage options — the Dish Room Restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and has an outdoor terrace and lounge bar; the Terrace Bar; and the Great Room Lounge and My Bar (pictured above) offers a selection of "light and more substantial menu items".
Amy McPherson, president and managing director for Marriott International in Europe, said: "Over the past few years we have seen robust growth in Turkey where six of our 11 hotel brands in Europe are represented, demonstrating the growing strength of our portfolio of brands...
"Everything from technology and design to meetings is being revitalised and we are very proud that the Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli showcases many of these innovations and represents a new standard for the brand."
Marriott this week opened its first hotel in Osaka (see news, March 10).
